Ability-Gated Exploration Platformer

An ability-gated exploration platformer (AGEP) is a genre term for a video game that is heavily based around exploration and non-linearity, with certain areas generally inaccessible without upgrades or new unlockable abilities.

The game space is often open-world or semi-open, and involves encountering obstacles that the player cannot usually overcome without later backtracking. This is the generic term for the genre more popularly known as "Metroidvania" or "Zeldavania."
I'm working on a new game. It's an ability-gated exploration platformer inspired by Dead Cells and Guacamelee!

Ass Gated

When anxiety hits you so hard that your butthole clenches up like it’s trying to hold on for dear life. It’s that physical reaction that kicks in when you’re stressed out or facing something scary.
1. I was so ass gated when the teacher took few seconds extra before announcing my marks.

2. He got ass gated the moment he saw his crush.

3. I was so ass gated during the presentation that I could barely read the notes.
